The Bonus Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Capt. Bob: I’ve decided to archive the caches in this area and wait until all work is completed before replacing them. I found one cache sticking in the mud and only inches from tractor tracks! They have about five more months of work to do, but have been shut down for two and half weeks due to muddy roads. The place is a mess. Hope things are better next year.

Geocache Description:

This is a Bonus Cache to a series of caches located in the Conway State Forest. All the caches are located off major trails, but none have been placed in any stone walls, foundations, or cemeteries. All the caches are preformed soda bottles except for this one and they should be winter friendly up to a foot or two of snow.


The Puzzle

The given coordinates are for the entrance to a old cemetery. There are no caches located there! But feel free to visit.

There are two tasks that must be completed to determine this cache’s coordinates. One task requires a little brain work and the other task a little foot work.

First, you must find the name of a person. This person is somehow related to all the characters in the titles of the other caches in this series. Once you find that person’s name enter it into the spaces below.

Second, you must visit all the other caches in this series to discover the numeric value of each letter. Enter these numbers into the appropriate boxes below (color is important) to find the coordinates to "The Bonus Cache".


Sounds simple enough! These coordinates will take you to a quiet spot where I like to visit and take in the sights and sounds of nature.

P.S. I originally wanted to release this series on Christmas for a nice snow covered walk on a winter's day but the snow gods conspired against me. So better late then never.
